In the new trailer, Smith emerges from the famous lamp in an electric-blue tornado of smoke until we see him in all his glory: He's blue, all right, and bare-chested, with pointed ears and the Genie's signature beard and top knot.

"You really don't know who I am?" he asks an incredulous Aladdin. "Genie, wishes, lamp -- none of that ringing a bell?"

In December, everyone got a little bent out of shape when Entertainment Weekly's cover photo showed Smith as the Genie and he wasn't blue. Smith himself answered the haters on Instagram, posting in part: "LEMME OUT!! Can’t wait for y’all to see Me BLUE!"

He wasn't kidding.

On Sunday, Smith took to Instagram, writing fans and haters: "I told y’all I was gon’ be Blue!! Y’all need to trust me more often!"
